Restaurants in New Brunswick

“ABSOLUTELY THE BEST FOOD THAT I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!! PLEASE, IF YOU EVER GET A CHANCE TO GO THERE, YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED!!!”

“Amazing food and service ❤️”

“Tried Nacho Bae for the first time and honestly it was great. The food came out quick, portions were solid, and everything tasted fresh. I got the loaded nachos and they were packed with toppings, not just a bunch of chips at the bottom. The staff was really friendly too and made the whole experience easy.

Definitely one of the better spots around New Brunswick when you’re craving something casual and filling. I’ll be coming back to try more of the menu.”

“I travel 20 minutes on each direction because their food is exceptional. I probably pass a dozen Chinese restaurants i could stop at but I love the food and service so much.”

“Cuzin's Seafood Clam Bar is first class! Not only is the seafood fantastic, but the dry aged steaks and cocktails are excellent as well. Highly recommend”

“ALS Formula treatment from Aknni herbs centre, It has made a tremendous difference for me (Visit ww w. aknniherbscentre.c om). I had improved walking balance, increased appetite, muscle strength,”

“We got the Bratwurst at the New Brunswick Oktoberfest. Best I ever had and I've been going to them all over the tristate area for 25 years.”

“The manager goes above and beyond. The food is on point whether eating there or using DoorDash. Excellent food, service and cocktails”

“Only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because this was my first time eating there. The food was hearty, healthy and delicious—looking forward to the next visit. (They make their own bread!)”

“Absolutely the best Ice Cream. Loved it!”

“I was told about Made Kitchen through my cousin in Georgia as this was something he saw on IG. So I had to check this out especially working so close by on Easton Ave. I visited Made Kitchen on 4/26 and again 4/27 and both times didn’t disappointed were super delicious. I got the King Caesar the first visit and Big Jerk Cheesesteak on the second visit. Both sandwiches are great in portions and I couldn’t finish it in one sitting. The King Caesar was fav for sure. That chicken was tasty and the lettuce was fresh. The Big Jerk was tasty as well. Jerk seasoning had the right of kick. So you can’t go wrong with either sandwich. I’ll probably get The Heavyweight or the Chopped Cheese next visit. TBD. But definitely hit this spot up if you in the area.”

“Wonderful experience dining here. Delicious chicken combo for 2 - chicken chops especially good!, varied dips with pita, large servings. It was all great. Service and atmosphere were super too. Will definitely be back, highly recommend.”

“We needed something like this in our area !”

“I enjoyed spendinding a few hour here on Sunday morning sipping espresso and using complimentary wifi. I was looking for a place like this near Rutgers university. Other options did not have free parking, so this was an easy choice, which I don't regret!”

“We got the combination platter for two. More than enough food. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly.”

“Tremendous Italian dining experience, get a table in the basement as it is more quiet and more private.. Pasta was delicious, the wine recommended by the waiter, a bearded friendly Spanish guy was great as was the Tirasmsu which was out of this world. Ate there twice and it was the best dining experience in New Brunswick.”

“Every year we take a trip or two to come to this restaurant from Rochester NY ! One year we brought friends of 12 people and went to make reservations and they were full ! Once I told them who we were and we come every year they went above and beyond and got us a private table in the back by the street and accommodated all of us no problem ! Everyone loved it there AND one of their waiters is from where we are in NY it was great to have conversations with him ! Can’t wait to go back again . The mixed drinks as in the mojitos are my favorite! The oil for dipping is perfect !”

“Highly recommend. Thank you to the staff for great service and great food. We will be back!”

“Fun atmosphere and had the best "new" waitress, Lila!!”

“Owner and employees are very friendly and that makes for a great place to eat and relax”

“Just had my Aunt’s 80th birthday celebration at SLS and the experience could not have been better. From the planning with Judy to the day of party execution with Jane. Even the owner Mark stopped by to check in. The room was warm, the service was impeccable and the food was excellent for all 40 guests - which is no small feat. We highly recommend Stage Left and their sister restaurant Lombardi’s. A great place to make some life long memories.”

“The food is really good. I got the Bao buns and the pork was really juicy and tender, and the peanuts added a nice crunch to it. Would totally come back! As a student, the pricing is really affordable as well.”

“Great ambience with even better food. The server was really good he made us felt welcome and also suggested what we should order. Lamb Adana kababs were very authentic and really tasty I will suggest it as a must have if you like Mediterranean food. Also ordered Tas kabab, it was really good, the meat was really tender and gravy complimented the rice it was served with.”

“We went there for the first time tonight. The staff was very courteous. The atmosphere was beautiful. The food was absolutely fantastic as we had their sampler. Didn’t feel rushed. The cappuccino and mousse topped off a truly wonderful experience. We will be back again and again…. and again. ❤️🇪🇹❤️”

“Authentic asian cuisine. Everything from signature Burritos to Japanese Ramen this place doesn't disappoint. Sushi was fresh and rolled tight, The miso soups are on point. Milk and fruit tea available. Staff is friendly and service was quick.”

“Always an amazing experience. I live in JC and I don’t mind driving 38minutes down to NB just so that I can be here. Keep up the good work.👍”

“Posted up in the center of the pub. Me and these two mad lads started drilling. Ice was about 4 inches and ol' Stout was struggling to breach through the ice. After a few minutes of turmoil he was finally able to break and we heard the glorious rush of the water gushing like a foutian out of the portal to the dark unknown. We stood there conquistadors above a murky gold; fish. We set our thrones upon the ice and readied our rods. Our mouths watering at the thought of the first fish. With bait and hand a glee in our hearts we awaited the first bite. But folks, as everyone knows, fishing isn't about the catch nor the side of the fish. But it's the spot and the friends we make along the way. We caught no fish, not even ol' Stout. But we had a splendid time, and like the conquistadors of old we left with nothing. Oh yea and there's uhh ... darts in the back or something.”

“If you’re looking for a go-to spot for takeout in New Brunswick, this is it. Their Pizza City Wrap is a must-try as well the wings. And don’t skip the curly cheese fries; perfectly crispy and cheesy. Staff is always friendly. Recommend for sure!”

“Muy. Rico 😋 la. Comida. Muy. CAsera”

“Delicious Rakkii Ramen Resturant Staff is great and excellent customer service”

“ME ENCANTA QUE ME ATIENDA RITA…LA MEJOR EMPLEADA...”

“Stopped into McDonald’s and the experience was solid from the moment I walked in. The staff moved with purpose, kept the line flowing, and stayed polite even with a steady crowd. My order came out fast, accurate, and hot — fries were crisp, sandwich was put together cleanly, and nothing felt rushed or sloppy.

The dining area was tidy, tables wiped down, and the overall vibe felt organized instead of chaotic. It’s the kind of location you can rely on when you just need something quick, warm, and consistent. I left satisfied and would definitely return.”

“As always, delicious food and great staff!”

“We are so grateful to El Jefe’s for generously donating a catered lunch to our school staff during Staff Appreciation Week! Their kindness and willingness to give back to the community truly means so much. The taco bar was an absolute hit — fresh, delicious, and enjoyed by everyone! From start to finish, everything was seamless. Delivery was right on time, the setup was clean and organized, and the take down was effortless. Thank you, El Jefe’s, for helping make our staff feel so appreciated. Your support of our school community does not go unnoticed, and we highly recommend them for both their amazing food and outstanding service!”

What I can say is the food it’s authentic Mexican , so tasty and delicious , I’m not a big fan of spicy foods but this place use enough condiments on their meats , they use jalapeños but if you don’t want them, request not to put them on your food…overall food it’s delicious highly recommend”

“My wife and I Tried Buns n Shakes today for the first time . It was delicious. Especially when my wife says something is delicious it’s off the chain. She is extremely hard to please with new foods. I’ve struck out many times lol. Highly recommend Buns n Shakes . We’ll definitely go back.”

“I had the steak burrito at the Piscataway location today and it did not disappoint. Excellent food and the nachos with Nutella are fire. They had so many fresh made salsa and bottled hot sauce to put on my burrito. I think I found my new Mexican spot. Can't wait to try more of the menu. Highly recommend. 10/10”

“Excellent family friendly cafe 🍵Recommend the chai masala, lavender donut and rose elixir matcha! Follow @maria.angelspear for more cafe gems ☕️🎀✨”

“Absolutely stunning experience! Arden was so friendly and helpful right off the bat - they had a ton of recommendations, so it was easy to work through my options. After I ordered, I made my way to the eating area, which was bright, airy and clean. Service was very fast and I had my (absolutely delicious) latte in just a couple minutes.

The cake prices are actually super reasonable for what you get as well. If you’ve got a sweet tooth, you’ve got to come here. I wish I lived closer, because I would come here much more often! They do offer savory bites as well, which I’ll try next time 😋”

“I don’t typically leave reviews, but this place is great. I am in town for business and have heard a lot about “New Jersey bagels”. Not only did I receive a fantastic bacon egg & cheese but the gentleman behind the counter separates this place from others. He could tell I was in a bit of a rush and was conscious of my time while still delivering the quality that people talk about. I highly recommend this place and look forward to coming back.”

“Last time I was here was 1983 as a grad student. They kept a bottle of Jeremiah Weed for me - I was the only one who drank it. Played Space Invaders big time. Mush - old guy no teeth smart man almost lived there.”

“Great my favorite place to get the Boba tea”

“Kev and the staff are like family! Welcoming and tops it off with quality food and service!”

“Great Chinese food spot, nothing fancy just great food”

“The Vine is an excellent establishment. It’s always a lot of fun as well. The service is fast and professional. The alcohol is good and reasonably priced and the food is even affordable and good too. It’s still a new establishment but Anderson the proprietor and his wife Alyssa have done a first rate job. Anderson and Alyssa have hired very professional and talented personnel. They also have put together a great all around experience. The establishment even has some regulars at this point which, frankly are hard to come by in the bar business. Lastly, the place is safe, well located and there is parking. In closing, in a business i.e. the bar business where management is everything The Vine is really first rate.”

“My favorite pizza place in New Brunswick. The vegan menu is incredibly extensive and delicious! The owner is so sweet, generous, and helpful. He's always willing to explain a menu item, chat with you ("where's the show tonight?") and make sure your experience is enjoyable. I can't say enough great things about Tata's.”

“I’ve been coming to Deltas for abt 4 years. The food is great and reasonably priced. However, I immediately sensed a different vibe in the atmosphere. Not bad…just different.”

“The jerk chicken platter is the best. I've tried many different spots in DC/MD and NJ, but Cool Runnin's jerk chicken is top. The location right on Easton ave is tough to find parking and I wish they were on doordash or one of the other delivery services.”

“This is the first time I've ever experienced customer service this exceptional from a chain restaurant.
My friends and I recently ordered delivery, and unfortunately, the cheese was accidentally left off one of our sandwiches. I submitted a message through the website, and within less than 24 hours, not only did a staff member named Juan reach out to me, but the owner, Efrain, personally contacted me as well. He sincerely apologized and generously offered me a complimentary sandwich.

I took him up on the offer today, and once again, I was amazed by the level of care and hospitality. Efrain went above and beyond by having one of his team members, Henry, personally deliver the food.
I am genuinely shocked and incredibly grateful for the kindness and outstanding customer service that Efrain and his team have shown me and my friends. It's rare to encounter people who care this much about their customers, and it made a lasting impression.

I will absolutely continue supporting this location and recommending it to others. Thank you, Efrain, Juan, Henry, and the entire team for your generosity, professionalism, and genuine kindness. My friends and I truly appreciate everything you did for us.”

“I have been thinking of stopping in for a while, I came in today for their Arabic chicken Shawarma. It was delicious. Crunchy outside, very flavorful inside. I will come again. Not very attractive photos but it gives you an idea. They have a shawarma sandwich on a roll but I very much prefer like this!”

“It’s a very nice place to relax for drinks with friends!!!!”

“First taste of some NJ pizza since I came back. Never had this place before but it was some quality! My in laws who prefer a local spot were pretty happy with it too! I'm from California but I've had pizza all over the US and NJ still has the best! We had a margarita pizza (California Love) was super happy with it. Price is good, quality even better would recommend!”

“Food is honestly really good here, the staff are really nice and everything is arranged nicely and presentable. The seating area is really comfy as they just renovated it and even with all that being said its still not too overwhelming. Honestly I’m a huge fan of the buffet styled eating plan. Definitely recommend people to come and eat here!”

“My friends and I are here for one of their first Tuesday nights open. We had a few problems with wait times for food, but the boss and chef were both very apologetic and our table really appreciated it. They immediately tried to resolve the issue. We see the potential and we hope they do well!”
